clerkship for him in the Postofice Department.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
A few days ago the New York Central Rail-
way company mailed circulars to many of the
holders of its passes. informing them that, owing
to the interstate-commerce law, a continuance
of their privileges would be illegal. A reporter
called at the Offices of the company, today, IN
regard to these circulars. believing that the
interstate law did not affect the New York Cen
tral, as its entire line is within the borders of
one State. Mr.. Depew's secretary explained the
situation as follows:
I'VE are only calling in those passes that are
affected by the Interstate law, which call for
transportation beyond the limits of this State
Yes. it is certainly true that this would be an
excellent time to call in All passes. but we don't
want TO do that. A good deal mas been said
about the demand for, and the issue of the privi-
leges being a nuisance. Passes are certainly
troublesome, but SO is the selling of tickets. We
look upon both troubles incident to the bust

PARIS. April 22-A gang of swinders has
been defraudlng some of the farmers in the
eastern part of this county to the tune of $3.50
apiece. 1t is worked on the same old principle
of making the farmer an agent aud having him
sign an order for one of the harrows, which
he is to receive free of charge. The order is
printed on the back of postal card. In few
days the collector of the company comes around
and presents the contract to the farmer, when it
reads that he has ordered one third of gross of
harrows. The collector frightens the farmer
into giving note for the amount, and he is COM
PEELED to take the harrows at the agents prices

"a Marion Sensa ton.
Special to the Indianapolis Jour me-.
MARION, April PA criminal case which
was of absorbing public interest, by reason of
the high social standing of the parties in
voved, was finished here this after
noon. The title Of the case was The
State VS.. John L. Gallntin, charged with
bigamy. The case was commenced yesterday
afternoon, and upon the calaing of court this aft
ernoon verdict of guilty was rendered and
penalty OF two years in the penitentary was as
sessed.
The prisoner is about tw enty-eight years old.
He came here five years ago, and under the
name OF Charles Parker sold hard
ware or the streets. Later he embarked
in the grocery business. and later still he was
associated with ]. d. Beatty in the livery ousi-
ness. In December. 1855. he married Miss Rose
Beatty, the daughter of his partner. and one Of
the most charming and accomplished young
ladies' of the town. Not long after
ward he went the road for
A. c. Trentman & Co., wholesale
grocers Of Fort Wayne. Last December Parker
absconded. and his father-in-law charged him
with embezzlemenr Several weeks later. by
means of letter from New York addressed to
him here, which limited at certain irregular
transactions, supposed to be counterfeit.
ing, Parker was located at York,

Pennsylvania and effected Parker's arrest
While there Won Behren learned the prisoners
real name. and that he had an undivorced wife
living at the time of his marriage
with Miss Beatty. Before his flight Mr..
and Mrs! Charles Parker moved in the
very first social circles of Marion, and his expos
ure created one of the most astonishing sensa-
tions that Marion ever experienced. The charge
of embezzlement is still pending A motion for
a ew trial in the bigamy case was at
once entered. Gallatin, alias Parker. is
backed by a good deal of wealth
and family influence. He has the most astute
lawyers at the Grant county bar. and the fight
in his behalf will not be given up until the last
expedient has been exhausted
